Last week, former Diem contributors launched their cryptocurrency, Aptos, after four years of development work. Unfortunately, the beginning of the project was not the most glorious. APT token lost 40% in 24 hours. Yet a meme-corner gained 4,500% thanks to a tweet from Vitalik Buterin. Among other things, a study shows that Bitcoin is less volatile than SP 500. We end each week with the statement of the boss of Walmart on crypto-currencies.
Complicated beginnings for Aptos
Heralded as one of the projects that will mark the crypto world, Aptos had a rough start. Launched on October 18, the project quickly attracted the largest exchange in the market. Binance, FTX, Coinbase promised that they will launch crypto soon. We look forward to returning to Internet Computer for Aptos. However, one event was to subvert all enthusiasm for the project among Diem’s former contributors.
Within a day of its mainnet launch, Aptos’ tokenomic leaked to the market. This has been the subject of serious controversy because much of it is confusing. According to the document, more than 50% of the tokens should be allocated to the “community”. In fact, the word “community” can cause many problems because according to many observers, it is an embellished way to justify the remuneration of venture capital.
So, the criticisms started to rain on Aptos. Some exchanges understanding that there is a big move in crypto have decided to issue APT perpetual contracts. So, not surprisingly, the price of the token lost more than 40% after its IPO.

DIE exploded after Vitalik’s tweet
A new coin meme is sweeping the crypto market. Its rate increased by 5,500% in 12 hours. This is DIE Protocol, or Le Protocol in French. “Shitcoin” came from a joke by Vitalik Buterin on Twitter. In fact, the latter, in a post written in German, asked his followers if they wanted him to launch a project called “The Protocol”. Without delay, the developers quickly launched the “Die Protocol” meme-coin in reference to the idea of the creator of Ethereum.
The token gained 5,500% after its launch on the exchange. The cryptocurrency has a capitalization exceeding $10 million. However, Bubblemaps revealed that 15 wallets have 20% of DIE tokens in circulation.

The noh 1 in the crypto market fluctuates below the SP 500 in October
The overall bearish trend continues to weigh on risky assets. While a rebound at the beginning of the month predicted a change in the situation, the acceleration of inflation swept away the recovery under the fear of continued rate hikes by various central banks. However, one statistic may surprise investors.
The realized volatility of Bitcoin in 20 days is below the SP 500 and the Nasdaq. Even more surprising, a researcher from Kaiko’s company found that: “The spread of 30- and 90-day volatilities between BTC and stocks has also decreased since the second half of September. “
Faced with this observation, some wonder if the largest project of the crypto market is not in the process of separating from the stock market indices, with which it has shared strong correlations for almost two years. In any case, Mike McGlone thinks that by strongly preserving the $19,000 zone, Bitcoin can replace the SP 500. So he said:
Bitcoin at $19,000 May Take the S&P 500 at $3,600 – The Lowest #Bitcoin Price Since the 200 Week Moving Average and The Fact That The Oct 18th Level Was Four Times Higher than the Q1 2020 Close low may signal a sustained bull market after a long discount.
